Something wicked this way comes.

Netflix released the first two official photos from "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," its "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" reboot due Oct. 26 that promises to be much darker than the original 1990s comedy series starring Melissa Joan Hart.

The new series "finds Sabrina wrestling to reconcile her dual nature – half-witch, half-mortal – while standing against the evil forces that threaten her, her family and the daylight world humans inhabit."

It's based on the origin story comic book and is written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who also produces "Riverdale," another darker revival of an old comic-book favorite.

"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" stars "Mad Men" alum Kiernan Shipka in the titular role, with Lucy Davis (BBC's "The Office") and Miranda Otto ("Lord of the Rings") as her witch aunts, Hilda and Zelda Spellman. Other cast members include Richard Coyle ("The Collection"), who plays high priest Father Blackwood and Ross Lynch ("Austin and Ally") as Sabrina's boyfriend Harvey.

And don't worry: Salem, everyone's favorite snarky cat, is slated to make an appearance as well. No word yet on any new plans for world domination.

Are you ready for Halloween? The night of candy, costumes and debauchery is almost here, but if you’re not quite all-in yet, don’t worry. We’ve rounded up the 20 best Halloween TV episodes to get you in the spirit, from sitcoms using costumes for humor to genuinely terrifying horror stories. Happy Halloween! Fox

‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Season 4 Episode 4: “Fear Itself.” ‘Buffy’ always did Halloween episodes well, but this one is our personal favorite. Buffy and her Scooby Gang face their fears and inside a house of horrors. But hey, it’s easy to get over your fears when they’re caused by a tiny little demon you can stomp on to slay. The WB

‘How I Met Your Mother’ Season 1 Episode 6: "The Slutty Pumpkin.” ‘How I Met Your Mother’ would run a lot of jokes to the ground, the Slutty Pumpkin included. But in its first appearance the gag was great, and the episode itself helped to define the show's tone and heart. If Ted is still wearing that hanging chad costume in in 2016, though, we’d be concerned. Monty Brinton, CBS

‘The Office’ Season 2 Episode 5: “Halloween.” Classic Michael Scott, waiting until the last day of the month to lay someone off, so he has to do it in costume. The second season of ‘The Office’ is where the show really picked up, and this episode is one of the reasons why. NBC

‘American Horror Story’ Season 1 Episode 4: “Halloween Part 2.” While most TV Halloween episodes are fun opportunities to see your favorite sitcom characters in costume, they are serious business on ‘AHS.’ The Season 1 episode is genuinely terrifying between its hauntings and horrific deaths. Robert Zuckerman, FX Network

‘Community’ Season 2 Episode 6: "Epidemiology.” Only on ‘Community’ can a simple Halloween party turn into a full-on zombie apocalypse, only to be erased from everybody's memories before the episode ends. On any other show a swerve like this would be too far, but ‘Community’ was just getting started. Vivian Zink, NBC

‘Friends’ Season 8 Episode 6: "The One with the Halloween Party.” ‘Friends’ was so busy with their Thanksgiving episodes that it took them eight whole seasons to get to Halloween. We're glad they got around to it eventually, if only for Ross's "Spud-nik" costume. NBC

‘Supernatural’ Season 4 Episode 7: “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester.” The CW show, which has been running as long as ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ at this point, has give us its fair share of monsters, demons and fanfics, but it tackles Halloween head-on in this aptly-titled episode. Justin Lubin, The WB

‘Parks and Recreation’ Season 2 Episode 7: “Greg Pikitis.” ‘Parks and Rec’ chilled Leslie out a little over the course of the show, but her high-intensity and, er, passion is on full blast in the season 2 Halloween episode, in which she tries to stop a Pawnee prankster from teepeeing a park statue. Chris Haston, NBC

‘The Vampire Diaries’ Season 1 Episode 7: “Haunted.” Halloween with actual vampires is much more dangerous than with your drunk friends with plastic teeth. This early ‘Vampire Diaries’ episode helped establish how high the stakes are in the show, when Elena’s friend Vicki transitions to a vampire. Spoiler: It does not go well. Alan Markfield, The CW

‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ Season 3 Episode 5: “Halloween Part III.” The “Halloween Heist” has become a staple of ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ (they just aired the fourth this week) and for good reason -- it shows off the best of these characters playing on each others’ strengths and faults. The Season 3 installment rises above the rest, twisting the show’s own tradition on its head. Eddy Chen, Fox

‘Happy Endings’ Season 2 Episode 5: “Spooky Endings.” We still miss “Happy Endings” after its untimely cancellation, but we’ll always have episodes like “Spooky Endings,” which shows the biggest strengths of the show. Plus, Penny and Max dressed up as a connected mother and baby. Jordin Althaus, ABC

‘Pretty Little Liars’ Season 3 Episode 13: “This is a Dark Ride.” Halloween costumes on TV are always more expensive, better crafted and more original than whatever us mere mortals can come up with (you will see 1,000 Harley Quinns this year). Of course the Liars’ costumes are impeccably fashionable and fitting for each girl. Oh and this Halloween episode features a real corpse and an Adam Lambert performance because this show is ridiculous. Eric McCandless, ABC FAMILY

‘Freaks and Geeks’ Season 1 Episode 3: “Tricks and Treats.” The cancelled-too-soon classic knew how to pull on our emotions, but the moment in this episode when Lindsay accidentally eggs her brother is one of the most heart-wrenching. Oh and don’t forget to be careful of homemade candy. Paul Drinkwater, NBC

‘Bob’s Burgers’ Season 3 Episode 2: “Full Bars.” This show is at its best when it parodies the absurdities of both childhood and adulthood. In this episode the kids go after the best treats (no fun-size allowed), the adults deal with a murder... of a guinea pig. Fox

‘Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23’ Season 2, Episode 2: “Love and Monsters.” Your Halloween tradition may involve candy and costumes, but for Chloe it involves ruining someone’s life. The titular B tries to mess with a cute guy, and maybe ends up finding a real relationship. Which for her is absolutely terrifying. Danny Feld, ABC

‘Fresh off the Boat’ Season 2 Episode 7: “Miracle on Dead Street.” On their first Halloween in the suburbs, the Huangs attempt to fix an age-old problem: The dead street where no one trick-or-treats. And because it’s the Huangs, they have an interesting approach. Gilles Mingasson, ABC

‘The Simpsons’: All the “Treehouse of Horror” episodes.‘The Simpsons’ recently aired its 600th episode (seriously) and of course it was this year’s “Treehouse of Horror.” Nearly every one is a classic, so take your pick (although we’re partial to the ‘Shining’ parody in “V”). Fox
